verb phrase: Trying to stop something that is clearly [inevitable] or already unstoppable. Putting effort into [controlling] a situation that has moved beyond anyone’s ability to stop it—often while [pretending] things are still under control. Like standing on the shore believing you can keep the ocean from coming back in: you might delay it for a moment, but the tide always returns.
